Instructions to make Easy Cuban Style Chicken Stew:
  1. In a large Dutch oven or deep saute pan (at least 10"), saute the onion, bell pepper and garlic in the oil over medium high heat for about 3 minutes, or until the onions start to turn translucent.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the peas, stir to distribute evenly, cover with the lid askew and bring the stew up to a boil over high heat. (Should take 5 to 7 minutes.)
  3. Once the stew has been boiling for 1 minute, give it a good stir, lower the heat to medium low, and simmer for 45 minutes with the lid on askew, stirring occasionally. A good simmer will produce gentle movement under the surface of the liquid, but no splatter.
  4. Adjust the seasoning if needed (you might like a little more salt), add the peas, turn the heat up to medium, and simmer another 5 to 10 minutes with the lid off, stirring occasionally.
  5. Serve with your starch of choice. The stewing liquid, and lots of it, is delicious over plain steamed rice. - - Enjoy! :)

Add the potatoes and the water or chicken stock. If the sauce is too watery by the time the chicken is cooked, uncover, raise the heat and boil until the sauce thickens. Combine all ingredients in pressure cooker. Remove from heat release steam and serve over white rice. **You can also use chicken thighs and drumsticks if you like dark meat.
